“…Data hiding and encryption are two basic approaches that play essential roles in information security. In addition, data encryption is a type of cryptography that converts a confidential message into a scribbled enciphered form before sending it via a private or public channel [3]. As a result, following encryption, the carrier object has no value.…”

The need to hide essential information has rapidly increased as mobile devices and the internet has overgrown. Steganography is a method created to create hidden communication. Recently, methods have been developed to hide important information using text steganography. This work-study takes advantage of the possibility of concealing data in all diacritics after the two letters ال)) in the cover text. In the presented study, we propose a new algorithm in steganography in Arabic text as a cover text. After pre-processing the cover text, the algorithm hides the elements of secret messages inside the Arabic letters by adding appropriate diacritics (like Hamzah Al-Wasl) on the extracted words beginning with (ال) according to its third letter type (solar or lunar). In the proposed algorithm, the length of the secret message is determined so that the intended recipient can extract the hidden message accurately. The proposed algorithm is robust against the attack because the change in the cover text is small and imperceptible. On the other hand, since Arabic is used as a cover text, the breadth of the inclusion depends on the number of words beginning with (ال) definition.

Steganography is the process of hiding secret data inside other media or cover media. Balancing the requirements for capacity, security, and imperceptibility is the main challenge for any successful steganography system. In text steganography, the data hiding capacity is limited because of the lack of redundant data compared to other digital media, such as images, video, or audio. Other challenges in text steganography are imperceptibility and security. Poor imperceptibility results from the structure of the text file, which is more visually apparent in terms of syntax and grammar than in other media. Low level of security results from the sequential selection of positions for embedding secret data due to insufficient redundant data in a text file. Therefore, an attacker or a third party would notice slight changes in the text file. This paper proposes a new text steganography method that combines cryptography and compression techniques to deal with these issues. This technique is used to conceal secret data to achieve high data hiding capacity in the cover text while maintaining security and imperceptibility. Multilayer encoding and Format-Preserving Encryption (FPE) with Huffman Coding, are applied to secret data before embedding. Invisible Unicode characters are employed to embed secret data into English text files to generate stego files. Results show that the proposed method satisfies capacity and imperceptibility in the cover file by comparing it with previously developed methods.
